AI-Powered Census Comment Analysis Tool

Statistics Canada uses an artificial intelligence system to automatically classify and organize comments submitted by census respondents. The Census Comments Classifier uses advanced natural language processing and deep learning technology to sort respondent feedback into relevant subject areas and general census themes, helping researchers and analysts better understand public input. This system is currently in production and is used by Government of Canada employees to process and analyze census survey comments. The system does not involve personal information in its decision-making process, focusing instead on the content and themes of the comments themselves.
